Experimental investigation of a photovoltaic thermal collector with energy storage for power generation, building heating and natural ventilation (2019)
Journal Article

A phase change material (PCM) can be used for thermal management of photovoltaics and thermal energy storage. This paper presents a photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system integrated with a PCM as a thermal storage medium for managing the photovoltaic temp...

A numerical methodology for comprehensive assessment of the dynamic thermal performance of horizontal ground heat exchangers (2019)
Journal Article

Heat transfer takes place simultaneously with moisture transfer in unsaturated soil and the transport processes interact with a ground heat exchanger (GHX) installed for a ground source heat pump. This paper presents a numerical methodology to produc... Read More about A numerical methodology for comprehensive assessment of the dynamic thermal performance of horizontal ground heat exchangers.

Experimental performance of latent thermal energy storage for sustainable cooling of buildings in hot-arid regions (2019)
Journal Article

Highlights • A modular PCM-air heat exchanger for free cooling of buildings has been proposed • Narrow air flow channels result in a higher cooling potential and a faster charging process • Thermal comfort period provided by the system during the dis...
